The Legacy You Leave

Chapter 19

No one else will know that part of me.

No one else will have me like you do.

Don't give away the end

The one thing that stays mine.

He hadn't answered her latest message when she called him.

He didn't pick up. Confessing her feelings had freed her the guilt she should of felt wasn't there. His silence fueled her. Made her determined.

In the morning

"Why were you so quiet at dinner?" Brooke asked. As she finished getting ready to go work at Clothes over bros.

"Alot on my mind." Lucas replied.

"Like what we don't do secrets remember?" Brooke questioned.

Lucas stared back at her. "Audrey kissed me." He confessed.

Brooke stared back at him her eyes wide.

Lucas went to his end table went into his text messages and handed her the cellphone.

"These are messages she sent me after the kiss." Lucas said.

Brooke felt her stomach twist in knots as she saw the pictures.

And read the words that woman had sent to her husband.

Brooke handed him back the cellphone.

"I told you. I could see it. Feel it. She has real feelings for you."

"It is one sided isn't it?" Brooke questioned.

"Why would you ask me that?" Lucas replied.

"Because i need honesty. I dated before we got together."

"I was you're first real relationship." Brooke replied.

"Of course these feelings she has are one sided. Come on Brooke."

"I wouldn't destroy everything we built. The life we have."

"I'm in love with you." Lucas reassured her.

"Okay. Then call her. And tell her you're coming to see her." Brooke said.

Lucas glared at her. "I don't want this to get any worse then it already is. I will deal it." He replied.

"I warned her and she doubled down."

"You do what is needed and if that isn't enough."

"She's mine. Now i will go to work. Let me know if she contacts you again." Brooke proclaimed. Before leaving their bedroom.

Lucas swallowed hard. This was a verison of his wife he had never known. It made him nervous when she spoke of audrey her eyes darkened and the expressions on her face were hard.

He needed to put an end to Audrey. For the peace and happiness of his family and marriage.
